We have about 6" of snow on the ground. I love snow. 

What is your favorite memory of playing in the snow?

In second grade, for my birthday (in March) by best friend slept over.  The next morning, there was about a foot of snow!  My mom walked to her house (6 blocks) to get her snow boots etc.  We had a lot of fun playing ouside.

I am a FL girl so my snow memories are very limited. My best memory is when we went skiing one year as a big, extended family. We rented a cabin and hit the slopes.

I hated skiing but loved sitting in the cabin with some cocoa!

I like seeing the snow but I hate being in it-- blame it on my warm and sunny FL weather!

Winter 1996. I was in 3rd grade when we got that 36" snow in Virginia.  We were out of school for 2 weeks straight.  We stayed with our grandparents and I remember Granddaddy digging a path for us to the trampoline, which we crawled under and used as a fort for the most epic snowball fight ever. 

I also remember deciding to walk around the back of the house to the swingset and got stuck in snow up to my chest. As an 8 year old, I thought I was going to freeze to death.  Luckily, my younger brother eventually walked around the house and found me.

I'm from the Gulf Coast.  I've seen snow a grand total of 3 times in my life, it was never more than 0.5" - 1", and it never stayed on the ground for more than about 12 hours, if we were lucky.  So when I see snow at all, it IS a memory, haha.  I have a whole album on Facebook for pictures from the day it snowed in 2010 and we all flipped out, haha.  Everyone was going around like "DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IN SNOW?!"

<div>Same here- and I'm from PA! Haha. </div><div>
</div><div>As a kid, though, I did love playing in the snow. I remember sledding down the hill from my cousin's, past my great aunt and uncle's, past my grandparents' to my house. We all lived nest to each other and the hill connected them all. Now my parents are the only ones from our family that still live there. </div><div>
</div><div>I also remember in middle school "snowboarding" down a hill with my friends on a sled. That was fun. </div><div>
</div><div>And of course the best part was coming in from the snow and drinking hot chocolate my mom made me. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /></div>

I grew up with a slightly sloped backyard, and so my sister and I would tediously push our sleds down the slope to get a packed down path, then take a running start in order to "sled" down.  We had tons of fun!

My favorite memory also involves snow sledding. In the woods behind my parents house, there is a perfect hill for sledding. A lot of good memories with my brother sledding down that hill.

@Emily, I remember that snow storm! Crazy times

Growing up in the Chicago area, we had times where we had a ton of snow. One year, we built a snow family and my mom fashioned a little snow dog that looked just like our Westie. 

Also, up at my grandpa's house in Wisconsin, they had so much snow one year we were able to build tunnels in the snow all throughout their yard that led into a central snow fortress we had built.

I love driving in the snow!  Senior year in HS they cancelled school on a Friday.  I had homework in my locker that I wanted to do over the weekend.  Drove to school to get my homework.  It was one of those "teachers report" days, so the building was open. 

When I was in NC last year I got to school for my 8am class without realizing there was a 2 hour delay.  I thought the roads were fine.

Funny! I just played the "who knows where the lanes are" game driving home through Minneapolis! 

I'm not the biggest fan of snow. I'm ok with it for a little bit, but I can't handle the winters we normally have in MN. Working on convincing FI to move somewhere warmer! Colorado and California are our states of choice at the moment! 

My best memory is ringing in the millenium. My parents were dead-set on making a memory and so they made us put our swim suits on, run out through the snow and march around the campfire tooting our horns at midnight. 

Yes, odd, I know.

I don't have one.  I hate snow with the fiery passion of a thousand suns.  The only good memories I have of playing in the snow is coming in after and changing clothes so I'm no longer wet and cold.

We lived on a hill and the bottom of the hill was our church parking lot so we could start from the edge of our yard and go all the way down to the lot ... One time the plow pushed the snow up to the edge of our side instead of the usual side and we didnt know it , so we ended going over a huge mountain of snow like a ramp type thing at the bottom cause we were scared to bail out of the sled... We flew up in the air and spun and hit the parking lot it hurt SOO bad... and then being kids that we are we did it again ... that was us living "dangerously" when we were 7 ...

Lived in PA and Chicago .. snow dosnt scare me ....

You should move down here to the Gulf Coast.  You'll never see snow again.  ;-)  However, hurricanes are a pain to get used to...
